AS the CARBON ADVOCATE predicted, the
Democratic County Committee in meeting
assembled at Mauch Chunk last Saturday,
unanimously endorsed the candidacy of
Hon. w. NJ Espsher for Judge of the su-
preme Court.
Joseph S. Fisher, J. G. zern and Michael
i McHugh were elected delegates and the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
REsoLvEpy That we, the County Com
mittee of the Democracy of Carbon county,
duly convened FOR the purpose of electing
Delegates to the State Convention, to be
held at Allentown on August 31st, 1887, do
boreby instruct the delegates elected this
day to unitedly use all honorable means in
tiIbfr power to secure the nomination Of
Hou. W. NJ. Rapsher, of Maueh Chunk, for
Judge of the Supreme Court, because we
repose special confidence iTn Ms character,
sbilities and learnihg5 and we present him
to the Democracy Of this great Common
wealth an a STRONG MAN whom we have
good reasonsto believe the people would
heartily support at the polls.
1t is gratifying. to note the action Of the
County Committee. Mr.. Rapsher is a
Dcmocratwho byall natural attainmentsand
necessary qualifications IS fitted for the i'm
portant position, and the Democratic State
Convention could do no better than to put
him in nomination. He Is strong where
rnsst men are weak, and would rally, not
only every Democratic voter but all
citizens Of the Commonwealth who cor
Ioctly appreciate and fully recognize the
importance Of having a Supreme Judge
whose heart and sympathy is with the
common people-the toilers-and not with
the corporate powers. Let 1t be Rdpsher.

inside enter one Of these examinations and
II you pass bring the influence that got you
the first position to bear on the head Of the
Department to promote you to one Of the
positions made vacant by the dismissal Of
the clerk who performed the duties satis-
facterily for years but failed to stand the
test of the Civil service standard Of com
potency. There are many ways Of doing a
thing or accomplishing a purpose if you
have ingenuity enough to make the way.
The clerks are all staying at home these
warm nights and sweating under the heat
of the midnight oil TO prepare themselves
for the coming ordeal So far the women
have passed higher in the examinations
than the men. II.

II is gratifying TO note that the Star
Grant Monument fund is growing. The
object is laudable, the effort praiseworthy
in the extreme. Sl25,OOO is still needed to
complete the monument which is to mark
the spot where reposes the remains of the
commander Of the late civil war. 1t is a
Dsble object. Costly monuments mark the
spot where lesser heroes lie, marble shafts
have been erected perpetuating the deeds
Of men wao did not so much for their
country as did Gen. Grant, yet TODAY, al
most three years after death, no monu-
inent has been erected in his honor. A
patriotic people will remedy this neglect
by generous contribution to the Star Grant
Monument fund.

HENRY GEORGE intimates that II, after
trial, his proposal to abolish private owner
ship In land should not result in the aboli-
tion of poverty, then he would promptly
find some other method to advance. Evil
IDENTIFY man who has once got in the habit
disappearing himself byadvocatinga reform
is not likely to drop to the ordinary ways
OF making living merely for lack of a re-
form to advocate. 1t is, however, a strlk-
ing proof Of the recklessness of the man
that he should be demanding so revolution
airy a change as the eonfscatlon of land,
even though he confesses it to be an exper-
iment as TO the result of which he is him
self somewhat in doubt.

THE first Sunday under the new high
license law passed very quietly; the com
plete absence of intoxicated persons on our
streets both during the day and evening
was CONCLUSIVE evidence that our hotel and
saloon men propose observing the new law
in It's entirety. Whether or not the closing
Of hotels and saloons on the Sabbath will
lead to more violent means of passing
that day by individuals Of all classes is a
question as yet uncertain. True II is that
men will have their beer regardless of high
license or prohibition, and as time passes
some means will be devised whereby the
class who beer can secure an abundance of
that which cheers the inner man and raises
cain generally.

In Ohio the Prohlbitionist have taken
lead of the two great parties by putting in
nomination State ticket. The prohibi-
tion question has gradually forced its way
to the front-its great following now of in
teilisent and prominent Individuals has
placed it upon basis SO as to constantly
be a menace to the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties. That Prohibition is growing
is fact no longer to be concealed, and that
Republicans and Democrats fear its power
is undisputably evident by the manner in
which they gradually drift temperanceward
in framing party platforms.

TIE cordial fraternization of the Blue
and Gray at Gettysburg on the Fourth Of
July seems to be a realization of Abraham
Llncoln's utterance in his first inaugural:
s'We are not enemies, but friends. We
must not be enemies. Though passion
inay have strained, it must not break our
bonds Of affection. The mystic chords of
memory, stretching from every battlefield
and patriot grave to every living heart and
hearthstone all over this broad land, will
yet swell the chorus Of the Union when
again touched, as surely they will be, by
the better angels of our nature"

THE Democracy of Pennsylvania would
make no mistake III placing Hon. RapsheT,
of Carbon county, on their ticket this Fall
for Judge of the Supreme Court. Heis a
logical thinker an able jurist and man
who would be far beyond the control and
influence of corporate monopolies. Hehas
eyer been the strong friend of labor and
would poll tremendous vote if nominated.

the United States melted all its pig and

the consumption of the United States was
twice that of the greatest iron country in
